Leather-Shorts Leader and More Double Denim
In today’s Wall Street Journal, the delightful Rachel Dodes reports that leather shorts are hot, but not in the “too hot to wear in the summer” way. They’re hot as in “selling like hotcakes.” Rachel (with whom I’m acquainted) writes, “The new look made its runway debut last season in the shows of Chloe and…

It came along fast! Check out the sophisticated denim looks…
Fall Into a Texas Tuxedo at the Gap
Just goes to show you should never say never — because never is the next new thing! The Texas tuxedo is in fashion thanks to Chloe, Ralph Lauren and D&G, who all showed head-to-toe denim last year. The Gap is promoting its versions of the Chloe look. I keep admiring the ads in various magazines…
